BLUFF CITY.
BLUFF CITY, Ks, Feb. 10, 1887

BLUFF CITY, KS, Feb. -, 1887.
To the Editor OF the Daily Eagle
This growing young city is keeping
right along with her Improvements, and
daily astonishing every body. Since the
completion Of the railroad great quantities
of all kinds Of building material has been
brought in, and new buildings are going
up in ali parts Of the place. The town lot
company are bringing in from Winfield
two hundred cord OF stone to use in a block
OF six two-story brick and stone
buildings they are going to
build Inside Of six months
we shall have dozen good brick or stone
buildings. The contractor has Il gang OF
men at work on the round house aud turn
table and water tank. The new depot is
partly done and already shows what d
handsome building it is going to be.
The company have decided to provide
the town with good system of water
works and begin work immediately
The railroad yard seems to have
miles Of track and large
force OF men are at work putting down
mole. Everything seems to be on a large
scale and the buildings of the most sub
startial kind. The foundation stone tol
the round house is from Winfield quarries,
great square blocks, that will hold up any
-, - loy,rn f,r1antitV nf fnt
and nicely dressed stone that indicates
beauty in the building as we'll as use. We
have mercantile houses of all kind and
trade seems to be growing better daily.
We have five good grocery stores, one
hardware. one drug, one clothing and one
general store. We need another large dry
goods store. We want a good grist mill,
and the situation is a good one for any
person that wishes to invest in that bust
ness. Wichita merchants are represented
by their travelling men here almost daily,
but our railroad does not run
your way, and unless there is a
"cut of between here and Wichita
Kansas City and Saint Louis will get our
trade. If the Rock Island folks build to
Wellington and continue to exhibit the
good sence that brought them into Kansas,
they will strike out southwest through q
good country and touch this point, instead
OF doubling the Santa Fe to Caldwell
Our fame has reached busy Wichita and
brought one of her lucky citizens
down here where he invested
some of his Wichita earnings in a fine cor
ner lot. for which he paid 81 800 Another
Wichita man now lives here. Mr.. II j

KANSAS as A STATE.

The magnitude of the state Of Kansas Is
seldom fully appreciated by the people OF
the older eastern states. Some idea OF lis
present and future importance may be
gained when it is considered that Kansas
could be divided into two separate states
aud each OF them be larger than many OF
The good sized eastern states. While there
is no probability OF Kansas being divided,
the Garien City Herald shows how it
might easily be done without serious detri-
ment. and gives some c0mpa alive figures
which are sufficiently interesting to be re
produced.
The plan Of the Herald is to cut Il strip
thirty miles in width from the Indian terri
tory and add it to our southern borded,
making the state 23S 2 miles north and
south ard 400 miles east and west,
then divide the tarritory into two
equal parts by line running
north and south. This would make two
states 23S IL miles long by POP miles in
width, and give each 40, 10 l 2 square
miles Of territory Either of the states
thus formed would be larger than Indiana,
Ohio. Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia
or Maine, and greater than the com
bined area of New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Isl
and, Connecticut, Delaware and Mary
and. Each of these would be three times
is large rs Belgium, with a population OF
over 1900. 600, larger than Portugal with
"a population of over I coo, 900, three times

of nearly 5000, 000 and three times as
large as Denmark, with = population OF

IF THE LEGISLATURE HAD SAID
YES

An officer of the lower house remarked
to a crowd at the Manhattan hotel on FIJI
day night, and in voice emphasized by
some strange words, that he didn't believe
that half Of the people of Wichita knew
that the Kansas legislature was in their
town. The fellow no doubt thought that
he was stretching it." but he. wasn't
From things seen in print since, we THINK
there may have been some feeling upon
the part of even some Of the members
touching their reception here. In the FIRST
place We desire to call the attention OF the
members themselves to the fact that while
the senate responded to Wichitas invita-
ton with 10 uncertain voice that the house.
UP TO within forty eight hours of the
day fixed hardly knew what they were
going to do or where they would actually
go. Our people were consequently lett III
the dark as to whether it was a Wichita
excursion or an excursion with
Wichita rs only an incl
dental or side show. Up till the morning
of the day of arrival Wichita was left with
the information that the excursionis1s
would arrive on the schedule time Of the
regular train, 6:25 p, H., and that they
would 90 out early next morning to visit a
half dozen other towns. As for banquet,
if our people had thought that the legisla-
ture was coming down TO be fed rather
than to see and learn, we would have filled
them so full that they couldn't have
stonached Topeka hash for week after
wards As for dinner en- route, the
legislature were the guests Of the Santa Fe,
but had we known that the excursionists
were to be run through without anything
70 eat Wichita would have ordered dinner
at the Florence or Newton eating houses
and most cheelfully footed the bill.
In conclusion we want to say for our
people that no discouncsey was intended
unon our part as & city. We have wond-
erfully generous and liberalhanded people,
as we can show by d thousand instances,
but people withal who are begging or
asking 20 favors Wichita in all good
faith and singly invited the legislature to
visit her. Wichita sent this invitation. 1t
was not Kansas City. Mcpherson, Hutchin-
son or Chicago that sent the invitation, but
Wichita. The Legislature should have said
yes or no. If the legislature had said yes
we had nearly six thousand dollars pro
yided to entertain them from Friday night
till Monday morning But they didn't.

II noteworthy fact that every year wit

In the matter of population much has been

to the rapid growth of population, especially
in some parts of the country the census of lSSC

enough, SO that the meat will be

To prevent the encroachment of
vermin in poultry houses, many
excellent plans have been contri-
we'd. The best way where the
building is made of wood is to
line it throughout with tarred
paper covered with u thick coat of
white-wash twice a year. The
roost poles should be hemlock,
with the bark left on, the nest
lined with tobacco, and all small
cracks and crevices around the
building filled with a wash OF
kerosene oil and sulphur.

DDS is of the opinion that a horse
will be better equipped for his
work on TIN ee ears of corn and
twenty minutes currying three
times per day, than fourteen ears,
and one minutes work with the
brush and comb. Thus, the mar
who prooms his horse for the
short space of twenty minutes al

thirty-seven bushels of corn il

Especially is this true in season
